A critical rethinking of the way canons are defined, constructed, dismantled, and revised. A century ago, all art was evaluated through the lens of European classicism and its tradition. This volume explores and questions the foundations of the European canon, offers a critical rethinking of ancient and classical art, and interrogates the canons of cultures and regions that have often been left at the margins of art history. It underscores the historical and geographical diversity of canons and the local values underlying them. Twelve international scholars consider how canons are constructed and contested, focusing on the relationship between canonical objects and the value systems that shape their hierarchies. Deploying an array of methodologies—including archaeological investigations, visual analysis, and literary critique—the authors examine canon formation throughout the world, including Africa, India, East Asia, Mesoamerica, South America, ancient Egypt, classical Greece, and Europe. Global studies of art, which are dismantling the traditionally Eurocentric canon, promise to make art history more inclusive. But enduring canons cannot be dismissed. This volume raises new questions about the importance of canons—including those from outside Europe—for the wider discipline of art history.

During The Sixth Century A.D., The Two Great Empires-Those Of The Chalukyas Of Badami And The Pallavas Of Kanchi In The Decan And South India, Respectively, Have Ushered In An Era Of Vigorous Temple Building Activity, Reflecting In Its Mores The Mingling Of Forms And Ideals. Andhradesa Which Came Under Chalukyan Control Witnessed The Growth Of Alampur As A Great Art Center Of Seminal Importance. Following The Innovative Trends Initiated At Alampur And Perhaps Under The Guidance Of The Alampur Guild, Temples Were Raised At Kudaveli, Mahanandi, Panyam, Satyavou And Kadamarakalava. The Unique Feature Of The Architectural Form Is Its Kinship With The Nagara Temple Form; The Temple Of Dravidian Style Is A Lone Exception. This Monograph, For The First Time, Presents An Exhaustive Documentation Of Morphological Data Of The Temples At Alampur, Kudaveli, Mahanandi, Satyavolu, Panyam And Kadamarakalava. Analysis Of Architectural Form And Ornament Has Been Done In A Detailedmanner Emphasizing The Impact Of The Traditions Of Madhyadesa, Kosala And Vidarbha In Contradistinction To The Centers Of Karnata, I.E., Aihole And Pattadakal. Sculpture Has Also Received Close Attention, Emphasizing The Art-Form And Feeling. An Assessment Of These Structures Both In Time And In Space Has Been Systematically Attempted In This Monography. Adequate Photographic Illustrations Illuminate The Text.

This volume is a detailed exposition of the visual retellings from the Rāmāyaṇa, Mahābhārata and Bhāgavata Purāṇa on specific South Indian Hoysaḷa temples. The first part of the book deals with the Amṛteśvara temple, particularly its narrative panels depicting the Rāmāyaṇa, Mahābhārata and Bhāgavata Purāṇa. The text is a résumé of episodes paired with photographs which illustrate and review the visual retellings and explore Indian techniques of visual narrative. Corollary material from other Hoysaḷa temples with narrative reliefs, including new sites, is presented in the second part. There are very few published contextual studies of Indian narrative sculptures, and so the book is a contribution to the documentation of Indian medieval art, examining visual narratives within the context of the Hindu temple. The book is illustrated with 150 photographs.
